Chapter 84 Lin Ji Leaves
Chapter 84 Lin Ji Leaves
As soon as they finished eating, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue quickly got up to clean up the leftovers on the table. After they finished, they said that they were going back to cultivate later and that Su Luo and the others were not allowed to disturb them.
Su Luo and Lin Ji were happy to have some peace and quiet, so they exchanged a glance and went for a walk.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and the road was basically visible. Lin Ji led her along the lake, stopping and starting, and no one spoke for a while.
Su Luo and Lin Ji walked side by side. Recalling his strange behavior tonight, she felt uneasy for some reason, so she secretly glanced at him a few times.
Lin Ji was very perceptive. Before Su Luo could even glance at him twice, he immediately turned his gaze away. Su Luo quickly lowered her eyes, pretending not to be looking at him, but her heart was pounding.
Lin Ji was acting very differently tonight. What did he want to say by bringing me out alone? Could it be...?
Su Luo suddenly thought of something and quickly shook her head, shaking off the absurd idea from her mind.
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Just then, Lin Ji stopped and turned to Su Luo, saying, "Su Luo, I have to leave here for now."
Su Luo also stopped in her tracks, utterly astonished by his words, momentarily speechless. "Leave? Where are you going?"
Before Lin Ji could answer, she blinked and suddenly realized, "You...you've regained your memories?"
"Yes, my memories suddenly returned today."
Su Luo's heart tightened.
She gave Lin Ji the pills because she was extremely wary of him, which caused him to lose his memory. Now that he has regained his memory, will he blame her?
As if hearing Su Luo's thoughts, Lin Ji immediately said, "Su Luo, you don't need to worry. Whether I have amnesia or not, I will not blame you, nor will I do anything to you. Because you are different, you are the person I care about most in this world."
"!"
Su Luo was surprised by Lin Ji's directness, and her heart pounded, her face flushing slightly.
She looked up and stared intently at Lin Ji, only to find the boy standing under a lush peach tree, also watching her. His dark eyes were fixed on her, filled with long-suppressed emotions.
Su Luo pursed her lips, feeling somewhat lost as she thought about the idea she had just rejected.
She didn't know when it started, but Lin Ji began to enjoy looking at her like this, as if she were the only one in his eyes, focused and ardent. Even though she tried to ignore it, she couldn't...
Su Luo lowered her eyes and subconsciously changed the subject, "You said you had to leave temporarily, is there something urgent you need to take care of?"
"Yes, there is something very important I need to do, so I have to leave temporarily."
Su Luo remained silent for a while, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly, "I understand. I brought you here because you had lost your memory. Now that you have regained your memory, of course I won't object to whatever you want to do."
To everyone's surprise, Lin Ji's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, and he became displeased. "You agree to this so easily? Aren't you worried that once I leave, I'll expose your whereabouts and that of this island?"
What he really wanted to ask Su Luo was why she agreed without even hesitating. Did she think he was nothing to her?
Su Luo could tell that the boy was in a very bad mood, so she quickly shook her head and said, "You won't, I believe you."
When she first met Lin Ji, she was so resistant and wary of him, even going so far as to give him pills. But now, after going through so much together, and with Lin Ji protecting her at great personal risk on several occasions, she has come to trust him completely.
Moreover, this island wasn't easy to find; even they had to overcome numerous dangers to reach it. Furthermore, without her permission as the island's lord, no one could easily break through the formation to enter!
Seeing that the boy still looked somewhat unhappy, Su Luo thought for a moment and then comforted him, "Besides, you said it's only a temporary departure. This island will always welcome you. If you want to come back after you've finished your business, you can contact me anytime, and I'll come pick you up."
Lin Ji's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Su Luo to say that. The girl's words were like a flower blooming and a spark igniting, instantly illuminating his dark and muddy heart.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"Of course I wouldn't lie to you." Su Luo quickly took out a sound transmission stone and handed it to him. "Here, this is a sound transmission stone. You can use this to contact me."
The fierceness in Lin Ji's eyes disappeared. He obediently took the communication stone, and when he looked up at Su Luo, a smile appeared on his lips, and the tenderness in his eyes was almost enough to make one wrung out water.
"Okay, I'll definitely come back as soon as possible. Su Luo, you promised me you'd come pick me up!"
Once he gains control of the Demon Realm, he'll immediately come looking for Su Luo. I wonder if Su Luo will agree to be the Demon Lord's queen then? I can't wait to think about it.
Su Luo had no idea what terrible things Lin Ji was thinking; she just marveled at how easy he was to coax.
"By the way, when are you planning to leave? I need to prepare to set up a teleportation array, since you probably won't be able to leave this island without me."
"Two days later."
Su Luo assessed her current level of array formation skills. She had memorized all the contents of that array formation book, and had learned most of the formations. Next, she needed to master them meticulously and then apply them to other situations. Perfect timing—she could try out that compass!
She nodded. "Two days shouldn't be a problem. I'll go back and prepare. Oh, and remember to tell Chu Wenqing and the others later too."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji paused, then rubbed his temples.
Feng Xiyue is alright, since their relationship is neither good nor bad; we can just tell them tomorrow.
It's mainly Chu Wenqing. That guy always likes to pester him, assuming he's weak. If he knew he was leaving, he'd probably start nagging and worrying for ages...
Seeing Lin Ji's headache, Su Luo remembered Chu Wenqing's nature and gave an awkward smile.
After the two discussed it, they turned around and slowly returned to the bamboo house. After saying goodbye to Su Luo, Lin Ji went to find Chu Wenqing with some impatience.
Su Luo returned to her room and took out her array book again to study teleportation arrays, planning to draw one and try it out tomorrow.
At the same time, she suddenly had another idea.
Since the goal is to create a teleportation array, it's best to set it up outside the flower forest. This way, she can add another illusion array outside the forest. Anyone who accidentally arrives on this island will first see a desolate, barren landscape, thus serving as a diversion!
Thinking of this, Su Luo quickly took out a piece of paper and started drawing. She not only drew the patterns of the teleportation array and the illusion array, but also made some modifications.
Two days later, outside the flower grove.
Chu Wenqing held onto Lin Ji tightly, her face full of reluctance. "Lin Ji, you must come back! I really can't bear to part with you! We've been through thick and thin together, you can't forget us..."
"..."
Lin Ji took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his murderous intent.
Chu Wenqing has repeated these words dozens of times in the past two days; he's practically memorized them! I really want to cut his tongue out! How can a man be so long-winded?!
Su Luo saw that Lin Ji's patience was about to run out, so she stepped forward, pushed aside Chu Wenqing, and handed Lin Ji a small storage bag, instructing him, "There are some things we prepared inside. After we get out, if you encounter trouble, don't fight head-on. If you can't beat them, run. If you can't run, use the Heavenly Thunder Stone or the talisman I gave you, understand?"
His displeasure vanished instantly, and Lin Ji's dark eyes sparkled as he nodded, "Okay, I will."
Feng Xiyue added, "There are also some pills in the storage bag to replenish spiritual energy. Please feel free to use them."
Lin Ji gave a faint thank you.
Su Luo thought for a moment and had nothing more to say, so she lowered her head and fiddled with the compass until the teleportation array drawn on the ground suddenly flashed, forming a small pillar of light.
Then he said, "Go early and come back early, be careful."
Lin Ji gave Su Luo a deep look before stepping into the pillar of light. Before the pillar of light disappeared, he didn't forget to leave Su Luo with a message.
"Su Luo, wait for me to come back."
Su Luo smiled and said, "Okay."
Soon, the pillar of light disappeared, and Lin Ji left the island, leaving Su Luo and the other two still standing there, staring blankly ahead.
